BEI Industrial Encoders L15: Incremental encoder provides more than 160,000 counts

The L15 incremental encoder allows 40,640 cycles per turn in control systems, allowing a 162,560 maximum count using the quadrature-detection option. The vendor claims the internal electric multiplication boosts output resolutions 16 times with no degradation over overall encoder accuracy. Additional features include a servo-mount package, a 0.25-in.-diameter stainless-steel shaft, and the ability to accommodate a 5-lb radial or axial load. Measuring 1.5 in. in diameter, the L15 incremental encoder costs $500.
